This section of the Little Devils Stairs Loop basically will take you up the Keyser Run stream. Throughout this section, you will have to cross the stream multiple times and at some point you are basically ascending through the stream. All of the crossings are shallow and are aided by rocks in the stream. Hiking poles are helpful to steady yourself whilst getting over the crossings. Sturdy footwear is also recommended.

Watch out for the trail markings. Sometimes it appears as if the trail continues on one side of the trail, although it is required to cross the stream to continue up the hill.
